PortMiami Cruise Transfers

Timed to your boarding window — not to somebody's guess about traffic.

A cruise day has one hard deadline and no second chances: the ship leaves whether you are on it or not. We book the transfer against your boarding window and your terminal letter, not against a vague morning slot, and we build in the MacArthur Causeway rather than hoping it behaves. Your chauffeur takes the luggage to the porter. On the way home we meet you after disembarkation — which never runs on time, so that wait is included rather than billed.

How the pickup works

  1. 1

    You send the ship, the terminal and the boarding window

    Those three, not just a time. The boarding window is the deadline that matters.

  2. 2

    We plan the causeway, not hope

    The MacArthur is the only realistic way in and it behaves differently on a Saturday morning with four ships in port.

  3. 3

    Luggage goes to the porter

    Your chauffeur takes it there. You walk to check-in with your hands free.

  4. 4

    Coming back, the wait is included

    Disembarkation runs late almost every time. We do not start a meter over something you cannot control.

Where we meet you

Terminals A, B and C

Royal Caribbean and Virgin Voyages. Terminal A is the largest cruise terminal in the country and the drop-off is managed — we know where to stop.

Terminals D, E and F

Carnival and MSC. Boarding windows here are enforced strictly in high season.

Terminals G, H and J

Norwegian and others, on the far side of the port. Add ten minutes over Terminal A.

Return after disembarkation

Customs and luggage collection rarely run to schedule. We meet you when you are actually out, not when the schedule said.

If your flight is late

We track your flight by number, so a delay, an early arrival or a gate change is our problem before it is yours. Sixty minutes of complimentary wait time on international arrivals, forty-five on domestic, counted from the moment the aircraft is on the ground — not from the time you were originally due. If customs takes longer than that, you will not find an empty curb: your chauffeur waits and dispatch tells you so.

Leave your flight and we come back with the car and the price — no account needed, nothing committed.

Questions, answered

How early should the car collect me for a cruise from PortMiami?

We work backwards from your boarding window, not from a fixed rule. With four ships in port on a Saturday the causeway behaves very differently than midweek, and that is built into the pickup time.

Do you take the luggage to the porter?

Yes. Your chauffeur takes it to the porter at your terminal so you walk to check-in with your hands free.

Can you collect us after the cruise as well?

Yes, and disembarkation almost never runs on time — so the wait is included rather than billed. We meet you when you are actually through customs.

Which PortMiami terminals do you serve?

All of them, A through J. Terminals G, H and J are on the far side of the port and add about ten minutes, which we allow for.

Can you combine the airport and the ship in one booking?

Yes. MIA or FLL to the ship, and ship to airport on the return, arranged as one reservation with one concierge.
